Snow for
Easter 2013?
MANY bookies are
slashing the odds of a white Easter, as the UK sees the return
of freezing temperatures and snow. We took these photographs of
the brief snow fall that stuck the Merseyside region on Monday;
totally insignificant compared to others parts of the UK, as is
usually the case. So what do you, are readers think about a
White Easter? Will we be singing "I'm dreaming of a White
Easter" or "Frosty the Easter Bunny"? Let
us know what you predict and are you placing any bets? Contrary
to popular belief, statistically there is a higher chance of
snow at Easter rather than Christmas in Britain, according to
the UK's Met Office. Also, will the shamrock sported on St.
Patrick's Day, 17 March be frosted? And how about starting
British Summer Time, at 2am on Easter Sunday with a nice layer
of snow?

Easter carol or song titles, do tell!
Liverpool to
Host World Book Night Flagship Event
WORLD Book Night is teaming up
with the BBC and Liverpool City Council for this year's flagship
event which will be held in Liverpool on 23 April 2013.To help
celebrate the 3rd year of World Book Night, world renowned
authors Philippa Gregory, Jasper Fforde, Jeanette Winterson,
Patrick Ness and Jackie Kay will be appearing at a special
'World Book Night Presents…' event held in St George's Hall next
to the brand new Central Library in Liverpool which is
re-opening its doors on 17 May 2013, after more than 2 years of
restoration. World Book Night is an annual event which
aims to introduce books and reading to people who don't often
read, or don't have regular access to books. On 23 April 2013,
400,000 copies of 20 specially chosen books will be handed out
by 20,000 volunteers across the country, to people in the
hardest to reach communities. Another 100,000 will be
distributed centrally to homeless shelters, prisons, hospitals
and care-homes. The authors, whose books all appear on
this year's World Book Night title list, will be taking part in
readings and Q&A sessions, joined by local author Frank Cottrell
Boyce. The event hosts will include BBC Breakfast presenter
Susanna Reid. Tickets for the event are free, and will be
available from 8.00hrs on Thursday, 14 March 2013. The
event also marks the launch of the brand new Liverpool literary
festival In Other Words, which will see more than 350 events
taking place in the City from 23 April until 19 May 2013. World
Book Night is just one of a number of events the BBC are hosting
in the City in the coming months. In addition to the
Liverpool event, World Book Night will again host a flagship
event at London's South Bank Centre, with appearances from
authors Victoria Hislop, Sebastian Barry, JoJo Moyes, Rose
Tremain and Tracy Chevalier. High profile events will also be
taking place at libraries in Bristol, Kent, Edinburgh, Coventry
and Cambridge, organised in association with World Book Night
founding partners, The Reading Agency. For more information
